Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Review "Bread box" is a term your grandmother knows, though her bread box was most likely tin. This one is plastic, but the principle is the same: To stay fresh, bread needs air--but not too much. Vents in this keeper allow proper circulation. The plastic slicing guide makes uniform slicing easy--starting at about a half-inch in thickness. The guide, however, accommodates a loaf only 5 inches wide, 1-1/4 inches narrower than the keeper accommodates. A wider loaf could be laid on its side for slicing, but the result might be less certain. --Fred Brack Product Description Clear plastic bread keeper. |

A bit overpriced for what it is, but a great and necessary tool!, Aug 20, 2023 This product is inexpensive plastic: it consists of two clear pieces in which to store a loaf of bread and a white piece that is used as a cutting/slicing guide. Pretty straightforward, and consisting of probably a dime's worth of plastic for the whole thing. It's a very useful tool for the home bread maker, as it makes for better slicing of bread in to fairly-equally sized slices than using a knife alone (and "eyeballing it"). If you have a bread machine, you need one of these. Period.

I like the bread cutter., Aug 18, 2023 I make bread because I have a son who is allergic to wheat and dairy. The bread slicer allows me to slice straighter and thinner pieces of bread which is great - I get more pieces out of a loaf and they look better. It works fine but I wish the slicer was a little more sturdy. Truthfully I purchased this product for the slicer not the bread keeper. The bread keeper works O.K., I especially like it when we travel because it keeps the bread from getting crushed, but gets smaller as we use up a loaf. I don't love the air holes in the bread keeper, it is too much air for rice bread and tends to allow it to dry out too quickly, but it would probably work better for wheat bread. For the price, this was a good purchase, plus I couldn't find a better bread slicer even at a higher price.

Not a bad deal, Jun 26, 2023 Like other reviewers have said, the slicing guide makes it easy to cut straight, uniform slices, and I just slice as many as I need at a time. I think the rest of the loaf stays a little fresher that way.
For me, the only drawback to it is the height. I now have a Breadman Ultimate machine with a horizontal pan, and I make 1 1/2 lb. loaves, which most of the time are too tall to fit in the breadkeeper unless I cut a slice off the top. Otherwise, it's good product for the price.
Also, one of the little plastic guides did break off recently, but considering it's been in use for five or six years anyway, I think I got my money's worth. And it is still useable.

Slicing for idiots, Apr 2, 2023 Okay, so it's not made of the best materials, but it is cheap! Regardless of this, the slicing guide works wonderfully. I used to have tons of trouble slicing my homemade bread-the slices would be huge and uneven and I would wind up with the top of my bread being thinner than the bottom. This solves that problem. It's also nice not worrying about a plastic bag. It is a bit of a pain to open, but I just tip it to it's side and pull one end out. It cleans easily and fits a good 2# loaf. Keeps it very fresh, too. Would recommend for anyone who can't afford a really nice bread box. I will keep it till I move, then probably toss it.

Handy and attractive, Mar 19, 2023 No more unevenly sliced loaves of bread. Stores my bread better than a plastic bag. Attractive enough not to hide, but rather to sit on the table for easier access
